Community Investment, Russia, ROOF
ROOF provides educational opportunities for children and young adults from Russian orphanages. We have been supporters of ROOF since 2004. This year, we helped fund their Moscow based, specialised educational programme for orphans. Funds were required urgently when a major sponsor pulled out at short notice due to the financial crisis. Despite these difficulties, ROOF was able to keep the programme going to the end of the academic year and by all accounts it was a very successful one for them.
